A man was flown to UMass Memorial Medical Center in Worcester after falling down a flight of stairs at a Spring Street home Saturday night, fire officials said.

Fire Lt. Frank Ferrante said that crews were called to 22 Spring St. at 8:07 p.m. Saturday for a report of a man who fell down a flight of stairs.

Ferrante, who was not working when the call came in, said a report indicated that the man had multiple scrapes and bruises on his lower abdomen and was being taken to Milford Regional Medical Center when his heart stopped beating en route.

Crews performed CPR and got his heart beating again, Ferrante said. He said the man, who was estimated to be in his 30s, was stabilized at the hospital before being taken by medical helicopter to Worcester. Ferrante said the department did not have an update on the man's condition.
